And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 15 of 1 Samuel. Samuel gives Saul a specific command concerning Amalek and reminds him that Israel must carry out the judgment announced against that people. Saul defeats the Amalekites but keeps Agag alive and preserves the best of the livestock. The disobedience is selective: Saul fulfills part of the instruction and modifies another part according to his own judgment. The episode establishes that biblical obedience cannot be measured simply by the overall result of a mission, but by faithfulness to the received word.

und ließ den Kenitern sagen: Geht hin, weicht und zieht herab von den Amalekiter, daß ich euch nicht mit ihnen aufräume; denn ihr tatet Barmherzigkeit an allen Kindern Israel, da sie aus Ägypten zogen. Also machten sich die Keniter von den Amalekitern.
Y dijo Saúl al Cineo: Idos, apartaos, y salid de entre los de Amalec, para que no te destruya juntamente con él: pues que tú hiciste misericordia con todos los hijos de Israel, cuando subían de Egipto. Apartose pues el Cineo de entre los de Amalec.
Saúl les dijo a los ceneos: «Váyanse, apártense y salgan de entre los amalecitas, para que no los destruya junto con ellos, pues ustedes mostraron bondad a todos los hijos de Israel cuando subían de Egipto». Entonces los ceneos se apartaron de entre los de Amalec.
Il dit aux Kéniens: Allez, retirez-vous, sortez du milieu d'Amalek, afin que je ne vous fasse pas périr avec lui; car vous avez eu de la bonté pour tous les enfants d'Israël, lorsqu'ils montèrent d'Egypte. Et les Kéniens se retirèrent du milieu d'Amalek.
E Saulle disse a’ Chenei: Andate, partitevi, scendete del mezzo degli Amalechiti; che talora io non vi distrugga con loro; avendo pur voi usata benignità inverso tutti i figliuoli d’Israele, quando salirono fuor di Egitto. I Chenei adunque si partirono di mezzo gli Amalechiti.
E disse Saul aos queneus: Ide-vos, retirai-vos e saí do meio dos amalequitas, para que não vos destrua juntamente com eles, porque vós usastes de misericórdia com todos os filhos de Israel, quando subiram do Egito. Assim os queneus se retiraram do meio dos amalequitas.
